Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ESG score and what does it measure?

An ESG score measures a company's performance across three pillars: Environmental (energy use, emissions, waste), Social (employee welfare, diversity, community impact), and Governance (board structure, ethics, transparency). It provides a holistic view of how responsibly an organisation operates beyond financial metrics.

How is the Corporate Sustainability Score calculated in this tool?

This calculator scores your responses across 7 Environmental, 6 Social, and 6 Governance criteria. Each pillar is scored out of 100 based on your selections, and the overall ESG score is a weighted average (Environmental 35%, Social 35%, Governance 30%) — reflecting how major ESG rating agencies weight these dimensions.

What is a good ESG score?

Scores above 70 are generally considered strong, reflecting solid sustainability practices across all three pillars. Scores between 50–70 indicate moderate performance with clear room for improvement. Below 50 suggests significant gaps that could affect stakeholder trust, regulatory compliance, and long-term business resilience.

How does this score compare to MSCI or Sustainalytics ratings?

This tool provides an indicative self-assessment score, not a formal third-party rating. MSCI, Sustainalytics, and CDP ratings involve in-depth data collection, verification, and sector benchmarking. Use this calculator as a starting point to identify strengths and gaps before pursuing an official rating.

Who should use this ESG calculator?

This tool is ideal for sustainability managers, CFOs, CSR teams, and business owners who want a quick baseline assessment of their company's ESG standing. It's also useful for investors, consultants, and analysts performing initial due diligence on a company's sustainability posture.

Can I use this score for investor reporting or regulatory disclosures?

This self-assessment score is not suitable for formal investor reporting or regulatory filings on its own. It is best used as an internal benchmarking and improvement-planning tool. For official reporting, engage a recognised ESG framework (GRI, SASB, TCFD) or a certified third-party assessor.

What is the starting point for improving our ESG score?

The fastest gains typically come from formalising existing practices — documenting policies, setting measurable targets, and publishing a basic sustainability report. Focus first on the pillar with the lowest score. Even moving from 'No' to 'Informal programs' across several criteria can significantly lift your overall score.

How often should a company recalculate its ESG score?

We recommend reassessing your ESG score at least annually, ideally aligned with your financial reporting cycle. Recalculate after major policy changes, new sustainability initiatives, or when preparing for stakeholder presentations — to track progress and demonstrate continuous improvement.
